Well with lower activity, less hits, there will be problems finding advertising...and more lost revenue will ensue. No, Mayet, you are right only about one thing. Times have changed, but Windrivers will soon die it’s inevitable...

I'm a part of the Asheron's Call 2 MMORPG... people have been saying it's gonna go under for the past 3 years... it's still there... same thing here really, I doubt it will close anywhere in the foreseeable future. And i don't even work for them...

Yes, there has been a slow down. But is it because this site is sooooo lame as you put it? I don't think so.

A few people have come and gone. That Other Site seems to be competing real well. When I go there, about 2/3 of the names there are also members here. Coincidence? I don't think so.

Actually, it is.

I dont post much anymore for a number of reasons. Number one being that the place is just so damn dead. I've been here for 4-5 years now and I've never seen things so bad. Paying for driver links was the first insult (when there are other sites doing it for free)

Then fight after fight after fight I grew tired of participating and decided to stay out of most of the threads because they just turned into troll bait or flame wars.

Sorry if you disagree, this is just my view on things

those are good points,I agree

I've been here a while too,I come and go,no big deal

I also have to ad that,back in the early days driver sources were a must,but for the last few years with win2k and xp and good online sites from manufacturers ,drivers have'nt really been an issue,like it used to be with older hardware and OS's,atleast for me.

I guess with all of the fighting/splitting off this site has gone thru, it is inevitable that if there ever was another hugh split off like the last one, this site will just die off.

Like ya_k said, less traffic, less advertising, less revenue for jupiter, equals no site for everybody

Who needs to pay for drivers when you have Google?

I don't think the lower amount of users has anything to do with less of a need for tech support because there is another tech forum that I visit that has over 600 people online at any given time of the day.

How much is your time worth is the question .. Jupiter media currently put it at $29.95 a year for this, so for an individual maybe not, get googling, but if you do it over & over ? Anyway that's the idea

, be it good or bad ... I'd of course be confus-ed on that bit

So does that make it a valid misconception, or an oxymoron ?

Why did you remove the insulting signature? Too lame to leave it on there?
